Exploration for hydrocarbons and their development has become more challenging with each passing decade. Play fairways are more remote, trapping scenarios more complex, reservoir presence and petrophysical characteristics are more difficult to predict with certainty.
Understanding the geology of the areas of interest becomes more important than ever. The depositional architecture of the sedimentary environments, facies distribution, tectonic evolution and diagenetic history all have an impact on hydrocarbon volume and flow potential.
We attempt to reach this knowledge by combining traditional geological analysis and modern technology to produce robust models that can help in the exploration for new prospects, field development plans and identification of infill opportunities in mature fields.
